While it is still cold outside, I decided to spend good hours going back to some of the films I shot last few years. This time I am about to show you Kodak Ektachrome 64 emulsion 6117/6118, the version from the ’80s.
Found few well stored boxes of this film in 9×12 cm sheet film … Read the rest
This post on ORWO UT-18 color reversal film was the first one on this blog. And the first “readable” image I proudly produced and shared here was this:
